Abstract:
Pancake of media in strip or tape form and method of making the pancake, the pancake including a hub onto which the media is wound until an outer wound layer is formed on the pancake, and a sealing element attached to the outer wound layer of the pancake such that a free end of the outer wound layer of the pancake is formed in a region beneath the sealing element. The process provides for winding the media onto a hub and attaching a sealing element to an outer layer of the media, wherein the sealing element is attached to the outer wound layer of the pancake such that a free end of the outer wound layer of the pancake is formed in a region beneath the sealing element.
Abstract:
Roll made of media in one of strip or tape form and process for producing the roll, the roll including a hub with a data recording medium in one of strip or tape form wound thereon, the data recording medium having a tape end fastened on a roll of the data recording medium by way of a printed adhesive strip. A sealing element of the roll is formed by an adhesive strip having an adhesive underside. The adhesive strip overlaps the tape end with its one end by a first length and overlaps a label strip with its other end by a second length. The adhesive strip is adhesively attached to the upper side of the label strip. The adhesive strip is adhesively bonded to the outer circumference of the roll between two overlapping regions in a region with a third length. The label strip is provided on its upper side with an identification coding.
Abstract:
Identification label for coding media in strip or tape form that is wound onto a hub. The label includes information indicating at least a product designation, at least a production code, and at least a quality class or classification, as well as information indicating a position of at least one defect of the media.
Abstract:
Hub for information media, the hub comprising an outer winding area having a width, a central bore and a center point located on the hub, driving grooves on a circumference of the hub, an outer ring, an inner ring, and a connector for connecting the outer ring with the inner ring. The width of the outer winding area of the hub is at least equal to a width of the information medium. The connector comprises diagonal ribs running diagonally at a slant in an axial direction and sloping alternately in accordance with two axial directions of the hub and in neighboring segments, wherein respective pairs of neighboring diagonal ribs are sloped in different directions and have a further rib between them, and wherein their plane is formed by a radial direction from the center point of the hub to the further rib and an axis of rotation of the hub.
